Educational institutions are defined as entities that provide instructional services to individuals or education-related services to individuals and other educational institutions.

Context:

Whether or not an entity qualifies as an educational institution is not contingent upon which public authority (if any) has responsibility for it. For example, tertiary institutions are classified as educational institutions regardless of which ministry or other authority may have ultimate responsibility for them.

In some cases, the Ministry of Agriculture or Defence might have responsibility. Educational institutions are sub- divided into Instructional educational institutions and Non-instructional educational institutions.
